I scrapped the prototype a few commits ago, but I think it'd actually make sense to have it implemented, simply add a line to reset the colour pattern to solid fill as well. The biggest obstacle for now, though, is I can't figure out how XFCE actually stores RGB colour values (it's like an array but actually not?...)

Due to gala rendering it by applying opacity over wallpaper instead of altering an actual image, it's impossible to get the dimmed variant by just using the actual file path. I think it should be possible to implement using imagemagick, but sounds like way too much hassle for now.

Use tweaked settings that look and work better with Pantheon/eOS:

• Do not show applications menu in context menu (maybe do the same with opened windows menu on middle-click, however it seems to be a bit more obscure and niche feature)
• Sort new icons from top-left horizontally (best possible option for all possible dock placements, except top)
• Lock icons for displays (makes much more sense, not sure why it's disabled by default)
• Set tooltip icon size to 0 (UI consistency)
• Use single click for opening files (perhaps add some check if the user have enabled double click for folders, and only apply if it is disabled)
• Show home folder, computer, trash bin and removable devices (UI consistency)

One possible realisation is to copy a pre-made layout with these settings applied during the installation. This way, the user will be able to change them later if they want to.

Currently, the only one I've even tested it on is my laptop. I think it would be nice to test it on various configs of:

• 7.1
• 7
• 6.1
• 6
• 5.1
  , at least in virtual machines :)

As simple as the title says: try to replace file symlinks inside all user-desktop, user-desktop-open and user-desktop-suymbolic icons with links to preferences-desktop instead.

The problem is, there are no desktop icons for 16x16 and 128x128, as well as symbolic desktop icon. So, for this to be implemented correctly, the missing icons need to be created and shipped as well.

This issue is currently work-in-progress.

As Gala's built-in "show desktop" mode appears to be broken (it minimizes opened windows, but doesn't actually remember what was minimized) and I don't think devs will ever bother to fix it, I want to implement my own "Show Desktop" implementation using xdotool and temporary files for storing windows' information. It will also automatically assign itself on Win+D (and a hot corner maybe?) during the installation, just like it was in Desktop Folder

Seems to be relatively easy to fix, but requires more testing to investigate which priorities exactly Thunar changes during its installation, causing the issue to happen. App example: VS Code
